An EDSITEment "Top
Humanities Websites" Winner
"One of the most important goals for the millennium is to give every child in America access to the universe of knowledge and ideas by connecting every school and library in our country to the Internet by the year 2000. Working together with business leaders, we've made solid progress. And as we work to connect our schools and libraries we must make sure that once our children can log on to the Internet they don't get lost there. "So today I'm pleased to announce that on the 27th of October the National Endowment for the Humanities, in partnership with MCI and the Council of Great City Schools, will throw the switch on a new educational website called EDSITEment. This exciting new tool will help teachers, students, and their parents to navigate among the thousands of educational websites, and there are literally thousands of them now. Most importantly, it will expand our children's horizons and instill in them an early appreciation of the culture and values that will be with them throughout their lives." ,
